I've had the 383 running for about 5 days now, put about 130 miles on it and i ran into a major problem. It heats up like a mother. It goes up close to the red zone if not into after driving around for only about 15-20 mins. I've rigged the single elec. fan to come on and stay on whenever I start the car. The only thing I can think of is that the radiator is too small/weak to help out the bigger motor. It used to have an L03. I called a shop and they told me they could build one especially for my car for around $300. Would this be a good choice, any help will be greatly appreciated. I want this motor to run cool!

 

As I read this post I say to myself, self I wonder what kind of car he has

I guess it wasn't obvious that I had a third gen...j/k. Anyway I'm having a new radiator built right now. It's going to be made out of copper and brass so hopefully it will run a lot cooler. BTW it's 91 RS.

Here's a good alternative! Hope the new rad does it!
